I live in Trujillo, Peru and until I obtained the Carnet de Extranjeria it was impossible to bank here. The Carnet is granted and establishes Residency here in Peru.

Residency or the Carnet is a available readily but the process is very bureaucratic and confusing - taking about 3 months.

ok,,,,, now regarding your VA pension......... I have experience only with SS but I imagine the process will be similar.

The US Embassy in Lima near Polo st. in I think the Surco District has a relationship with INTERBANK. When you are able with the Carnet to open an Account,, I know that SS monthly checks can be transferred directly to the bank, automatically month after month.

A visit to the Embassy will help but good to know is that you cannot just show up at the embassy. You need to go online and make an appointment to gain entrance.

My experience with these automatic transfers is that it works flawlessly......
